New Social Mobile Company Wormhole Games Started by Industry Leaders Jamil Moledina and James Kelm

Social mobile games company Wormhole Games has been officially launched
today, the brainchild of founders and games industry luminaries Jamil
Moledina and James Kelm. Wormhole Games' vision is to make fun,
gorgeous, multiplayer games that can be enjoyed by everyone. The
company's games are designed first for tablets and also smartphones, and
the first game from the new studio will arrive on iOS in early 2013.

“Wormhole Games represents a decade of thought and play in both core
multiplayer and social games. We're executing at the exact right moment
to bring them together for the unique and open tablet market,” CEO and
co-founder, Jamil Moledina, said. “But what really drives us is the
vision to evolve the art and science of games forward, taking everything
that has previously worked separately, and creating something new and
fun.”

Wormhole Games' approach is to advance the industry to its next stage by
making games that bring together the broad appeal and fun of classic
titles and true community play, with the current explosive success of
free-to-play social mobile games. Tablets offer unique creative input
and display opportunities that allow for new levels of game innovation
as well as unique marketplaces where new brands can rise. Wormhole Games
is building games with the depth of gameplay traditional gamers desire,
while broader consumers will find the fun immediately accessible and
irresistible.

Wormhole Games was founded by two senior visionaries with experience in
developing products for the web and mobile devices. Jamil Moledina
headed up the Game Developers Conference for several years before
transitioning to a senior business development role with Electronic
Arts, then moving on to serve as Vice President of Business Development
for the recently-acquired social mobile developer Funzio. James Kelm was
senior worldwide product planner at Apple for the iBook, followed by his
role as product manager for Google focusing on solutions for mobile
advertising, shopping, mobile commerce, and payments, before also
joining Funzio as producer. The two have assembled a founding team of
leaders from across games and technology; and are looking to hire more
talented, diverse people who share the company's vision and passion for
games, data, and geek culture. Initial seed funding for the company has
come from private investments.
